In a world hidden behind human eyes, the Dom clans survive in shadows. They are born mortal, yet they carry a bloodlust usually sated by animals and normal food - though some secretly crave the forbidden sweetness of human veins. Neo, a gentle-hearted healer from a disgraced clan, possesses the rare gift to soothe the agonizing 'blood-burn' of his kin. Yet, Neo harbors a fatal flaw: an extreme terror of abandonment that forces him to sacrifice his own safety to keep others close. When Sam, the ruthless, cold-blooded newly crowned Dom of the dominant rival clan, is poisoned by a traitor, their worlds collide. To save his dying family from extinction, Neo agrees to become Sam's personal healer. As Neo heals Sam's body, he accidentally triggers an ancient, forbidden blood-bond between them. Now, trapped in a den of monsters where human blood is a currency of power, Neo must navigate deadly court politics while resisting his growing, dangerous attraction to his master.
